"Wiki-Feed-ia: The New York Public Library’s What’s on the Menu? program enlists the public to help digitize the thousands of historical menus (and individual dishes) in its collection. In only a few months, volunteers and foodies have already logged nearly half a million entries in the searchable menu database. Brendan talks to the NYPL’s Rebecca Federman and Michael Inman about the project - and some gems unearthed. Boiled sheepshead egg sauce, anyone?"

"Tai-wiki-widbee" is an eclectic mix of trivialities, ephemera, curiosities, and exotica with a smattering of current events, social commentary, science, history, English language and literature, videos, and humor. We try to be the cyberequivalent of a Victorian cabinet of curiosities.
